Workplace Catering

Describe the outcome required as well as the immediate issue. The starting information should identify the location, people affected and any change in use, so the assessment addresses the current requirement rather than simply repeating the previous arrangement.

The brief can cover the food offer, service times, preparation and serving arrangements, staffing interfaces and clearing away. It identifies storage, equipment, waste and cleaning responsibilities. The agreed service describes menus and ordering arrangements alongside the practical controls that support safe food provision.

Food-business responsibility, allergen information and the treatment of dietary requests must be clear. A preference and a food allergy are different requirements. Information must remain accurate when ingredients or suppliers change, and the service should identify who answers customer questions rather than rely on informal assurances.

The proposal identifies the responsibilities that remain with the site or property team and the work included in our instruction. Connected repairs and specialist activities receive their own clear scope, so each person understands what they must arrange and what records they will receive.

Provide the premises details, kitchen and serving space, equipment ownership and the intended customer group. Identify shared facilities, landlord permissions and access for deliveries. Confirm who operates the food service and who maintains the equipment or building areas it uses.

We establish demand and the facilities available, then define the food offer and operating responsibilities. Mobilisation coordinates access, supply, service information and cleaning. The handover gives the responsible team a clear operating brief, with a route for menu changes, feedback and issues.

The property owner receives a clear account of the work and any follow-up required. Where premises are occupied, we agree the relevant notices, access and handback arrangements so users understand what has changed and who to contact afterwards.

Service hours, menu, expected take-up, staffing arrangements, equipment and delivery needs affect cost. Demand uncertainty should be reflected in the proposal. Compare the complete service, including clearing, waste and equipment responsibilities, rather than the price of a meal alone.

Agree access, occupant communication and any associated reinstatement before work starts. For a remotely managed property, identify the local contact and approval route so findings can receive a decision without losing the detail needed by the owner.

Managing agents need responsibilities and approvals connected to the correct owner. Residential blocks need communal and individual areas distinguished. Retail and hospitality need work coordinated with customers and occupiers. Our complete service and project offering supports all sectors, with scope suited to the property and the people using it.

We cover Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, County Durham and Tees Valley, including Berwick-upon-Tweed, Alnwick, Morpeth, Hexham, Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland, Durham, Darlington, Hartlepool, Stockton-on-Tees and Middlesbrough. View all locations.

For several properties, provide separate access and occupancy information. A remote owner can nominate a local representative while retaining a clear route for approving the work.

Use realistic attendance patterns and ordering information to shape the service. Review demand rather than assume every desk is occupied daily.

Define the information and communication process with the responsible food operator. Do not substitute a general menu description for accurate allergen information.

The instruction must identify that responsibility and the equipment covered. Food provision and equipment maintenance are different scopes.

Confirm ownership, access, storage, cleaning and food-business responsibilities before the service is agreed.

Read kitchen-extraction cleaning guidance where the service uses an equipped kitchen, and keep those equipment responsibilities distinct from food and guest service. Official guidance provides the relevant context for this service. Browse the Knowledge Centre.
